LPR not installing Windows 200

[Mark Majaski]

I have 2 LPRs I am trying to do a simple install of windows 2000 server on and they are both hanging on install every time. They load all the files, but never gets to the point of asking me where I want to install. It is like they are unable to access the hard drive for a windows install only. I can access the disks from multiple other programs and after my standard install procedure failed I have tried some other things to get this to work with no success.

I can FDisk the disks
I can load DOS on it
I can load Red Hat on it
I can load the utility partition


I can't load windows 2000 using the install CD
I can't load windows 2000 using floppies
I can't load Windows NT using floppies or CD


I have tried 3 different install CDs for 2000 and 1 from NT... they work on other servers.



I have been fighting this off and on for a week now, everyone else in the department has offered advice, but they have all faded away and left shaking their heads.


HELP!!!!

What controller are the drives connected to? Are you using the drivers supplied by HP? Are you running the latest BIOS? Here is the link to the LPr page, both drivers and BIOS are available here:
